Canva Advanced
Summer 2022
What to expect in this class.
Advanced Canva picks up where we left off in the last class. You will need a user name and password and a basic knowledge to keep up. After I go through the projects on this smore, I will give workshop time. During that time, I can help the beginners that registered and need help.
Make a smore Header
New Feature! I discovered it when I started working on the Smore for this class. I linked my Bitmoji to make the header for this Smore.
Create a Video
Video Templates for different types of videos. Canva will size it correctly for the purpose.
You can pick a blank and still have style templates on the first page.
- Change Colors
- Animate objects
- Add audio (you can even record yourself!)
- Change Colors of template- https://watch.screencastify.com/v/lgnWr3CmanotgMpncLjk
Create your "Style" or "Brand"
Canva will allow you to select colors and Fonts that you use frequently together to create your brand.
Teachers may want to create a brand each year for their class to match the school theme. Secondary teachers may want to create a brand for their classes that reflects their content.

Call or email for help!
If you get stuck or have a wild idea call me. We can talk though it and figure out a plan of execution. I haven't found anything the Canva can't do. We should be teaching our students how to demonstrate concepts with Canva because it is a powerful tool that is easy to learn.
